Cole beat, on his new single “RNP.” On this bar-fest, the Cordae and Paak go back and forth, with Cordae continuing to showcase his multifaceted game on the diverse track.

Before Coachella tickets went go on-sale I can already tell you they’re sold out with all the hype the lineup created when it was announced last night.
This year highlights more international stars and includes less hip-hop acts than last year. Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande lead the pack this year as headliners.
The three day, two weekend event goes down Friday April 12th and 19th, Saturday April 13th and 20th, and Sunday April 14th and 21st.
Day 1 includes performances from Janelle Monáe, Anderson .Paak, Juice WRLD, Ella Mai, Jaden Smith, dvsn, Tierra Whack, and more, with a closing performance from Gambino that should be magical in that setting.
Day 2 will see performances from Solange, Kid Cudi, J Balvin, Wiz Khalifa, Sheck Wes, Virgil Abloh, Sabrina Claudio, SiR, Smino, Murda Beatz, Bazzi, and more.
It will cap off on Sunday, with performances from Pusha-T, Khalid, Bad Bunny, YG, Playboi Carti, H.E.R., Gucci Gang (Gucci Mane, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp), and Ariana Grande, who had a tough 2018, so this is certainly a light spot for her.
The “Gucci Gang” name in the bill caused a lot of confusion as people automatically thought the fetival made a mistake and meant to say Gucci Mane. LaFlare will be there along with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp as part of a newly formed supergroup called “Gucci Gang.”
Coachella will take place over two weekends in its usual location of Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Passes go on sale Friday, Jan. 4, at 11 a.m. PST at coachella.com.

The ultra talented homie Anderson .Paak pulled up to the Power 106 #LIFTOFF with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk as part of his ‘Oxnard’ press run. Aside from doing an interview and talking about the album, .Paak blessed the mic and delivered thunderous bars over Junior Mafia’s “Get Money.”
On #Freestyle064 Andy talks about his come up, mentions Dr. Dre, touches on his extensive fashion collection, shouts out the late Mac Miller, says his XXL Freshman Freestyle was trash but makes it clear he has to make it right for the L.A. Leakers.
“You never know until you finally go there / Mama told me dream big, like my forehead / My wig pushed back, 10 racks to get repaired / Well, I guess I’m f***ing b*tches in knitted caps again / Skipped the baggage claim, went straight to Rodeo / Fashion week in Paris, never left the hotel braggin’ on my swag, I’d rather let these hoes tell,” he spits.
His upcoming ‘Oxnard’ album will be released next Friday, November 16th.
